Re: Halo 3 Discussion

So, Bungie was being coy about the whole online co-op thing?

4 player online co-op on Legendary will be amazing.

Nice screen too.

Starting to get really pumped. I have high hopes that the singleplayer/co-op campaign is going to deliver.

I wish you could of played as other Spartans tho, but it is all good. No matter who you are, you will kick ***. I will be setting up games before the game even comes out for the first day.

Dear Bungie,

I'm sorry that I doubted you. I will without a doubt not do it again. I assure you that my purchase of a PS3 yesterday had ZERO to do with no coop on Halo 3.

From 1UP Editor Jeremy Parish's Blog

They were kind enough to let us share our impressions of the game's third mission today, and they're very positive impressions. And maybe a little spoiler-ish, though not so much in terms of story -- we've only seen the tiniest snippet of the interstitial cinematics, so we can only guess at the context for Tsavo Highway. But if you want a quick rundown of the mission without learning some of the specifics in the preview, here's what you need to know:

• The game looks crazy good;
• The enemy AI is also crazy good;
• Brutes are the new Elites, all the way down to their frickin' rocket packs;
• The Brute Chopper is a seriously badass set of wheels. Er, wheel.

The one thing I didn't really address in the preview is the overall feel of the mission -- but so far, I'm happy with it. Tsavo Highway has the open feeling of Halo with the more focused and diverse level designs of Halo 2. In other words, accentuating the good, leaving behind the bad. That is what sequels should do, and if the rest of the campaign holds up to Tsavo Highgway, I will be a very happy gamer.

...

A little more from the EGM preview

• Brutes won't just go berserk all the time, if you knock all their armor off they will, but they usually stay in the back shouting out orders since they're the leaders.
• Enemies are more aggressive and can climb over pretty much anything.
• Lots of factors into sound effects (supersonic sniper bullets whiz by before banging, soil and rock make sound effects different, etc.)
• Sargent Johnson is supposed to look a lot older.

...

Edge Magazine

• You remember that 'terrifying grunt behavior' mentioned ages ago in a weekly update? They reveal that if you kill the leader of a Grunt Pack (a Brute) they all flee in terror, but one may go berserk and run at you with two primed grenades in it's hands.
• Wraiths can be taken down by two melee hits to the exhaust port.
• All Skulls are toggle-able in the Meta-game
• "Halo 3 will be a game of depth and scale, of mechanics, of appeal and of ambition. Its meticulous focused, yet radiant with expansive possibility. And with 2 months of polishing to go, its already one of the most supremely confident games we have ever seen".
